[Supplement 3 36,
from the State of Maryland into the State of Illinois, of a quantity of an article?
of food, to wit, peas in hampers, which were misbranded.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the information for the reason that?
it was food in package form, and the quantity of the contents was not plainly?
and conspicuously marked on the outside of the package.
On December 5, 1921, a plea of nolo contendere to the information was en??
tered on behalf of the defendant company, and the court imposed a fine of $10?
and costs.
